Dubstep ambassadors Nero have had a staggeringly, successful couple of years. Their debut, concept-album entitled Welcome to Reality, which reached number one in the UK albums charts, boasts a remarkable seven massive single, including the cacophonous Me & You, the high-pitched yet highly memorable Crush on You and the infectiously catchy, Promises. Their music and visuals undoubtedly dividing opinion, with some describing it as "crass and predictable" and others as inventive, animated anthems.
Their latest single, Must be The Feeling, continues with the 80s-inspired, electro-pop feel to their album, which is a remix to Carmen's, Time to Move. In actual fact, the two songs do sound very similar, but with Nero's compelling guitar and energetic synths, they have with a doubt taken the tune to another level.
Nero's music in itself is capable of transporting the listener to another reality, but no expense has been saved with their music video's. Each abstract, inventive creations, Must be The Feeling's video is like a high-budget, modern blockbuster. It stars the members of Nero, driving through a futuristic city, pestering it along on their ride, as the signs are transformed into Nero, related associations and the CCTV cameras focus in on them. A pursuit suddenly ignites, with mysterious beings in gas-masks riding modern motorbikes chasing Nero's car. As the two verge collision they seem to fuse together, with the third member of Nero revealing himself on the bike. It features many messages and subliminal s, naturally stirring the generic "illuminati" debate.
One thing is certain about Must be The Feeling and Nero's music and visuals in it's entirity, it must be experienced at full-volume, in full-screen, with the lights down...
